Hello, We are looking for an *experienced* programmer to help us add a shopping cart to our existing Website. We will start working immediately after we choose a winning bid. We will only consider bids from programmers with at least 25 completed projects on RAC and a feedback rating of at least 9.0. Here are our specific requirements: A. First and foremost, it has to be easy for our customers to use. The interface should be clean with a minimal number of steps/screens in the ordering process. Think Amazon. B. We do not want an "account creation" requirement when people are trying to purchase an item (which disqualifies ZenCart and several other software titles). C. The products need to be organized and then displayed on the site in about 5 different "categories" (i.e. Relationship Products, Parenting Products, etc). D. We need an administrative back-end that gives us the ability to: 1) Easily add/edit/delete products ourselves. 2) Assign each product to one of more categories. 3) Modify shipping options/costs/etc. 4) Define "quantity discounts" for each product. 5) Add/edit/delete promotional codes (for discounts). 6) Add/edit/delete product categories. E. The cart must be programmed in PHP or PERL (along, of course, with mySQL). That's about it. Once you're finished installing the cart, we have about 50 products we'll want you to add to it (all content for each item has already been written). Thanks, and good luck! Zac
